I've been in real agony over the weekend with a lower left molar. It already has probably over 50% filling and a gold plated crown on top of it. I was given antibiotics at the weekend as apparently it is infected and may be dying or something?

Anyway it hurts a LOT, cannot eat anything. Really annoying.

I wanted to know if anyone had had either treatment done before and if so what you would advise?

Most of my family are saying extraction as root canal is too painful. But I really am having a hard time deciding! Don't really want to lose a tooth I'm only 20!

Any advice would be great.

Hey

Basically I've been on Sertraline for around 6-8 months now, tried flux and found the side effects outweighed any kind of benefit. But this antidepressant I've noticed has given me massive mood swings, like I will literally scream at by boyfriend one moment, and an hour later Ill play with him by squeezing a toy pig in his face in the middle of a supermarket.

Now I'm a really anxious person in social situations, so normally I would never make such a spectacle of myself. So i really don't undertstand it.

I had the implant from April last year till Xmas, and thought that might be what it is, but I had it taken out, and if anything its gotten more noticable.

I saw my therapist today and she advised me to either increase the dose or change medications.

I don't know, what do you think? Have antidepressants sent you crazy before? What did you do?

Thanks in advance for reading!

hi everyone,

im seeing my therapist tomorrow with talking changes, its my local mental health support service. I feel really suicidal, and have done for sometime now. I don't feel safe with myself. I feel like theres a big chance I will try to kill myself, or at least deeply injure myself today. Im scared about what she will say.

and most of all, terrified she will tell me im being dramatic, or brush it off, like I have had happen before as part of CAMHS, that WOULD push me over the edge.

Advice please? I don't feel safe.

Ok so it doesn't really matter how it happened. I wasn't trying to kill myself . at all. So overall I've taken 6 sertraline and 5 anadin (across the day because I had a headache and then a stomach settler thing that I know has 1000mgof pparacetamol in it.

I didn't take them all at once but did take 4 of the sertraline and 2 anadin together. I've felt unwell ever since. Feeling sick and feeling queasy in my stomach. I have had no pain. But I'm worried I don't want to die.

So I'm on 20 mg of fluoxetine a day. I've been on it for about 3 months. And now I find that when I take it I get a mood boost for a few hours maybe and then I feel lower than ever. I feel isolated and just unstable within my own mind. I can't think straight. I have urges to self harm and even kill myself everyday. It's not too overpowering but it's getting th at way.

I just don't believe in me anymore

My relationship with my boyfriend is in a difficult patch because of it. I'm in this low mood constantly and can't bring myself out of it. Also I have virtually no sex drive and this is becoming a problem for us.

I'm seeing the doctor on Thursday and want to know if y out think I should ask for a different antidepressant? With different side effects? Or up the dose? I don't know.

By the way I'm having cbt alongside this medication which is helping a bit.

Thanks for reading.

Hi.

I'm in a really bad place right now and just feel like I need some support from someone who won't judge me.

I've already emailed the samaritans but feel awful for wasting their time. Other people have real things to be suicidal about or to not cope well with.

Any suggestions on where to get support? I really need a friend.

Thanks.

For a few weeks now, everytime me and my boyfriend have sex there is pain for me at the beginning for about 20 seconds? Then its usually fine, but every so often as soon as we begin the pain is so unbearable we have to stop.

Does anyone know why this could be? we both have a clear sexual history and have no stis or anything like that.

Also who should i go and see?

a gum clinic? family planning clinic or my GP?

I have a problem with sex with my boyfriend. It's always slightly painful at first, but sometimes when we first start the pain is agonising and we have to stop. It's not a problem of lubrication as we always make sure and use extra.

My question is who should I go to about this?

The family planning clinic or my GP? I have no idea.

i need to change the name of my administrator account on my computer. my boyfriend is a computer whiz and thinks hes funny changing my name to SLOTH-MAIN. i have changed my username from that to my name. but on my actual computer it still says sloth main. ive looked online and the only options i can find to change it is to go on local security policy, which i dont have as im on windows 7 home premium.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey

Thanks for reading this question. I have to have an ECG tomorrow because of something funny with my blood pressure so I'm convinced cause I'm so ill on planes and I get dizzy spells everyday for no reason.

Anyway the point of the question is I'm seeing a nurse tomorrow, I've had an ECG before before I had all these scars so I know she is going to see them. How can I explain to her what is clearly self harm scars. I'm terrified she will be like disgusted with me or something.

I don't self harm anymore, I feel better and healthier than ever, just the scars are still there.

Thanks for reading this question. If anyone has any experience of this or has any advice it would be much appreciated to calm my nerves!

Thanks

Jessica.

Hey thanks for reading this question.

Id just like peoples experiences of going to the doctors in the UK for depression, i already see a counselor, so and ive had talking therapy before, i really feel that medication is the way forward for me, as i cant cope with the symptoms of depression im experiencing. They control my life, and have for years. I'm currently 18 at university, with no motivation for life. At all. Everyday is a struggle, and really i have nothing to be sad about.

I've been to the doctors before when i was 17 and they said i was too young for medication and all about the side effects.

I don't care about the side effects, id rather be alive and experiencing side effects than not.

I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow.

Any advice would be great! of your experiences?

Thanks again

i have self harmed for going on 6 years now, for genuine reasons, so i believe.

But through looking on things like tumblr and things it seems to me that young girls (&boys) are doing this to be trendy, cool, or to fit in?

what do you think? does anyone self harm for genuine reasons? or is it all just attention seeking.

OK so im meant to be going to the doctors tomorrow afternoon. For various reasons, mainly my depression self harm and anxiety. Its really ruling my life. Ive been before and been SO disheartened when they told me i was too young for medication. I'm 18 by the way.

It made me feel a million times worse. For this reason, im just thinking whats the point in going? the system let me down last time.

Im terrified ill get rejected from them again. Im also like 99% sure i have Borderline PD.

Do you think i could just ask to be referred to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis? ive been going around in circles for years, with self destructive behaviour, unstable relationships and a damaged self image without getting anywhere!

i really feel like i need medication, to help stabilize my life

Any advice would be great. Thanks

Hi, Basically i broke up with my ex last May, he came to the same uni with me - living in the same halls of accomodation as me, in the september.

We got on great at first, then i learned he had other ideas, im in no position to be in a relationship - with anyone. So i told him straight, he used to go past where he could see my window, and if my blind was up text me saying i knotw you're there, why are you ignoring me. and things like that

I was good friends with him, and i care about him a lot. But im really worried about him, now hes saying that because im not his girlfriend theres no point to his life anymore, and that he will never love anyone like he loves me. stuff like that? its scary. im in the position now, my parents dont know all of this, and even they said dont be in a room alone with him. im scared to. He even said to me when im drunk excuse my behaviour and what i might do.. like seriously?

I've encouraged him to see the uni counselors, but its slow cause of demand. Now i encourage him to visit the doctor - i have for weeks. Its putting a lot of pressure on me, and honestly, i have enough in my life to deal with. Ive just asked him to ring the samaritans, or 111 to get a crisis team. and he wont.

do you have any advice, i want him to move on and be happy. ive told him this.

Okay so i asked a question earlier about seeing the doctor for self harm depression and anxiety for medication basically, ive tried other routes such as counseling and CAMHS and it didnt really help me.

A mental health nurse answered saying i had strong symptoms of BPD.

This actually terrifies me, because i did some research from academic sources which indicate that treatment for this is fairly poor, and its difficult to find psychiatrists who actually know how to treat BPD properly, let alone my GP. Like what if she just says dont be ridiculous or something

why is this not considered as serious of an illness as it is! its so debilitating, anyone who has this knows.

Does anyone know of treatment they have had or their family/friends that they could tell me about?

I feel like just giving up, that there is no hope.

Hi i've asked similar questions before,

basically im 18 at university with fairlty servere depression, it really prevents me doing pretty much anything in day to day life. i just cant deal with anything, my gran died in june, i was super close to her, i saw a counsellor at college, am going to see another one soon and was involved with CAMHS throughout my 2 years at college.

I've been really suicidal in the past, now it is every other day. I have pretty bad sleep problems too. and constantly feel exhausted.

basically, i see no point to life. and i self harm everyday. its such a battle. and anyone who can relate to me knows this.

my question is, is the fact i self harm relevant? ive been to the doctors for my depression before and theyve been all oh because of your age we dont give antidepressants. i cant seem to get through to them how desperate i actually am. its not a minor case, otherwise why would i need to see a doctor! I have overdosed a few times, nothing major, i think 15 codiene was my highest. and im not dead yet i guess.

I have an appointment to see the doctor next week.

Please help, any advice would be great.

Im a student at University

for years ive had sleeping problems, and have tried a combination of things including

-warm milk

-not eating after 7pm

-switching off all electronics & distractions 30 minutes before going to bed

-relaxation CDs

-over the counter sleeping tablets.

i sleep currently purely due to exhaustion, and its really dragging me down, i also have depression & anxiety issues, not sure if this is relevant. I just can't get a restful nights sleep, im ending up missing university cause im so shattered i feel like i cant get through the day and just need a bit more sleep.

any advice? is it time to visit the doctors?

Hi im just wanting your advice on whether you think i need to see someone.

been to see people previously councilors and things, for depression, anxiety etc.

so my gran died in june this year, after nearly 2 years of COPD and cancer. she was such a brave woman, and i love her to bits. i wish you couldve met her. ive just started university, and dont get me wrong i am NOT whining. i just find it really hard being here, she bought a lot of the stuff that i have here, getting me all packed and ready for university. im lucky i even got in, she died the night before my a level exams. and despite me living with her for over 3 years she wasnt close enough for me not to have to sit them.

anyway its been months now and i just dont feel right here, i really miss her. and whenever im here at university living in halls shes all it think about. about how proud she wouldve been and things.

:(

do you think i should see someone?

Since yesterday morning I've had really light sensitive eyes and pain when I move my eyes. I couldn't go to work today because of it, painkillers have no effect and ice packs over my eyes don't help much either - is this something I should see my doc about if it's not better by tomorrow? Or my optician. I have glasses but only for reading and things when I feel I need them.

Hi I'm jess I'm 18 living in the UK. I've had depression and anxiety problems for a few years I guess and about 18 months ago I finally sought help via my GP for it - I was referred to CAMHS where I saw someone called kathy. Knowing she was there helped I didn't think I was going mad as much. From the start with them I insisted ONLY contact by telephone as my parents are the cause and how can I possibly explain oh yeah I'm seeing a therapist because of how you are with me?? Not happening. So my treatment is ending and they've sent a letter addressed to my parents??!!! Saying to phone a number blatantly for mental health services on my behalf.

They're going to ask me about it - what the he'll do I say!?

Please help I know it was long

Thanks
